Pgsql errors, DBI and CGI::Carp

I'm writing CGI scripts in Perl using Postgresql via DBI interface.
RAISE_ERROR is on.

For some reason (unlike with MySQL), when a Perl script dies from
Postgresql error, the line number of Perl script where the error
occurred is not reported, just the SQL statement line number is

given.

In a longer script looking it may become a tedious task to guess the

line in script that caused the problem. Is that an expected behavior

or am I missing something?

It works for me:

$ cat dberr.pl
use CGI::Carp;
use DBI;
my $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=test") or die;
$dbh->do("bogus SQL");

$ perl dberr.pl
[Fri May 1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl: DBD::Pg::db do failed: ERROR:
syntax error at or near "bogus"
[Fri May 1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl: LINE 1: bogus SQL
[Fri May 1 15:05:08 2009] dberr.pl: ^ at dberr.pl line 4.

If you run that trivial program in your environment, what output do you
get?

My mistake was using DBD::PgPP (as suggested in "Beginning Databases
with PostgreSQL" by Neil Matthew and Richard stones, Apress) instead
of DBD::Pg.

Thanks for help!
